. "Father, what should we do? Are we really..." Ye Wei's face was heavy, and his heart was even heavier as if he had pressed a huge rock, so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe. He would rather face a hundred strong wind invaders alone than endure this spiritual torture.

In ancient times, in order to seek temporary peace between the two countries, there were countless precedents of marrying the daughter of a prince and a prince, and it was common to marry a general. However, the Ye family was different. The Ye family has been loyal and brave for generations, and killed countless Dafeng people to guard their homeland. The one they hated the most was also Dafeng people. It can even be said that the main purpose of his Ye family's existence is to resist the Dafeng country. If the daughter of the Ye family was forced to marry the prince of Dafeng country... What an unacceptable blow and irony would this be for the Ye family!

Furthermore, the Ye family will never be bullied by anyone. Although Ye Shuiyao's years of autism have silently faded their father-daughter relationship, they are his only daughter after all, and they are connected by flesh and blood. How could they bear to watch her marry into the Great Wind Kingdom?

After returning from the dinner last night, Ye Wei had not been asleep all night, and now he looked exhausted. He gave Ye Nu a complete statement from Feng Ling's ambitions at yesterday's dinner, from Feng Lie's ambitions, the abnormal movements of Kui Shui Kingdom, to the current situation of the Great Wind Kingdom, and the conditions he proposed... to Ye Nu. In addition to showing unconcealed shock at the beginning, Ye Nu occasionally interjected a few words, but later he said nothing and listened silently. When Ye Wei finished everything, Ye Nu's body was already as stiff as a stone, sitting there quietly without saying a word.

"Father, what should we do?" He asked again. Looking at his father who seemed to have suddenly become older, Ye Wei knew that his mood must be as heavy as himself.

"If you ask this, it means that you already have a tendency to choose in your heart, but you can't say it, and you can't face it, so you want to hear me say it." Ye Nu spoke slowly, his old voice was dull and weak, and there was a little bit of hoarseness that could not be concealed.

Ye Wei's heart was shocked and he said anxiously: "But my father..."

"Don't try to resist anymore." Ye Nu raised his hand to interrupt his voice, closed his old eyes, and said in a low voice: "You are forty years old this year, no longer a young man, and have passed the age of indecisive and activist. Although this abandonment makes us suffer, is it worth it... Is it really that difficult to weigh?"

Ye Wei was stunned for a while, sighed and sat down weakly on the chair opposite Ye Nu.

"After or later, my Tianlong Kingdom and the Great Wind Kingdom will have a battle, but it shouldn't be now. One has been planning to prepare for a full twenty years, but is ready to launch a large-scale attack in a time that no one expected. The other has gradually lost his vigilance in Anhezhong for twenty years, and is completely unprepared at this time... Even the Kuishui Kingdom is very likely to have already attached to the Great Wind. If the war begins at this time, how great is the hope of my Tianlong Kingdom's victory? How great is the hope of existence?"

Ye Wei: “…”

"Five years... These five years are enough to rewrite the fate of my Tianlong Kingdom... Weier, I have given you a lot of military books since I was a child, and I personally teach you how to set up troops and plan for the enemy. Every time I will let you go to the battlefield regardless of your mother's opposition. What is it?"

"It is to protect the Tianlong Kingdom and protect the glory of my Ye family... Without the Tianlong Kingdom, there would be no Ye family. Those ferocious wolves cannot step on and take away an inch of my Tianlong Kingdom's land." Ye Wei said clearly. In the same words, when he was very young, his grandfather told him, and his father told him that he could not forget, nor dared to forget.

"That's right... If the Tianlong Kingdom was destroyed during the Ye family's generation, the efforts of my Ye family from generation to generation and unswerving beliefs would all be shattered. The Ye family will turn into dust of history, and we will also become the Tianlong Kingdom and the sinners of the Ye family. After death, what face will we have to see our ancestors who have been watching our ancestors in the nine springs... Is it worth it to exchange for the life of one person to not be born?" Ye angrily grabbed the left and right armrests of the chair with both hands tightly, and his fingers almost fell into it fiercely. After hearing what Ye Wei said, the hatred and pain that surged in his heart instantly was no less than Ye Wei, but he was already an old man after all, he had gone through too many ups and downs, and had already passed the age of impulsiveness. In this choice with obvious pros and cons, he knew from the beginning what the Ye family should choose.

"It's worth..." Ye Wei hugged his head and squeezed out two words from his teeth with difficulty.

It has been unknown how many years he has not cared about and greeted his daughter. Perhaps even longer, he will forget his daughter's existence. How could he speak when facing Ye Shuiyao?

"I know, there are some things that you, a father, can't say, but I, a grandfather. Yao'er's temperament...ah."

Ye Nu stood up and walked out with heavy steps. Ye Wei looked at his lonely old back, and his nose felt a sour. He knew that his father's heart would definitely not be less painful than him. The disappearance of his only son of the Ye family made the old man stand in the cold wind for two days and two nights, like a stone sculpture. Although he was serious and stern, his concern for his children was always hidden in his heart, no less than anyone else. At this time... he was going to persuade a person with the blood of the Ye family to leave the Ye family forever and marry to the Great Wind Kingdom... What he was enduring at this time should be the feeling of a heart being cut like a knife.

Ye Shuiyao's courtyard was as elegant as usual, and it was particularly quiet. There was no sign of any maid in the courtyard. Ye Nu stood at the entrance of the courtyard for a long time before he let his footsteps lightly and walked in.

"who."

Ye Shuiyao, who was depicting a white lotus, heard the sound of footsteps, brows lightly, and did not look up, and asked coldly.

Ye Nu, who had already walked to the door, paused and gently pushed open the door.

A faint fragrance of his daughter came towards him, and the simple layout in the room also appeared in front of him. The only feeling he felt was strangeness. He had forgotten when he last came to his granddaughter's study. In short, it was a long time ago.

Ye Shuiyao finally raised her head. Seeing that it was Ye irritated, she stood up and shouted calmly: "Grandpa."

Ye nodded angrily, walked in slowly, and looked at every corner of the place with his eyes: "Yao'er, although he lives in the same house every day, grandpa has indeed not seen you for too long. It's grandpa's not."

Ye Shuiyao poured a cup of tea and put it on the one closest to Ye Nu, "Grandpa, sit down."

She was still so cold. Even when facing her grandfather, her expression was still habitually stiff, and she could hardly see the rapture. Ye Nu had never understood what was the reason that made her become so in the family atmosphere of the Ye family.

Ye angrily shook his head and signaled not to sit down. He opened his mouth, but he wanted to speak but stopped. He turned to say: "Yao'er, can you tell grandpa what you usually do here? If you stay in the room for a long time, you should go out and walk around often."

"Read books and paint." Ye Shuiyao answered concisely. In the past, she painted to express love, but now, she is also to express love, but the essence of "love" has undergone a fundamental change and has turned to a dangerous direction.

"Oh? Drawing?" Ye looked at the thick painting paper covered with a angrily look, and said with a smile: "Can you let grandpa see your paintings? I guess it must be exquisite. Your grandmother also liked paintings back then, but I didn't know how to appreciate her when she was alive. Until she returned, I could only look at her paintings to recall her life."

Ye Shuiyao did not nod, and her face showed obvious unnaturalness. If it were before, she had no reason to refuse, but now, she did not want anyone other than Ye Wuchen to see what she was painting at this time. Even if she tried hard to curb and warn herself, she still gave the meaning of torture in the painting that struggled deep in her heart in the painting.

Ye Nu could not see that she was worried. He said immediately: "Forget it, grandpa is a rough man and cannot reward such elegant objects. Now that he is older, it is even more impossible to recognize the fun in the painting."

He turned around and picked up the teacup that Ye Shuiyao placed on the table, took a sip, squinted his old eyes, and savored it carefully: "Grandpa... I haven't drunk the tea you poured in person for many years."

There was a deep voice in my heart that echoed: Maybe I will never be able to drink it again in the future...

He drank the tea heavily and washed his hesitant heart. Ye Nu's martial arts skills were not as good as Ye Wuchen at this moment, but he had to die directly and indirectly at his hands. This was a man with blood all over his body and still faced with the unfair face of thousands of troops. He could be said to have never felt ashamed of anyone in his life... But in his old age, he must feel ashamed of his relatives.

After warming the tea, Ye Fu breathed a long sigh of relief, put down the teacup, and his heart began to calm down slowly. He did not forget why he came here. Even if he was unwilling to do so, he could no longer hesitate.

Ye Shuiyao stood there motionless, the old and the young were suddenly disheartened. Ye was angry and his obviously weird reaction made Ye Shuiyao know that he must have something to say. She did not take the initiative to ask, but waited silently. When he said it, what she wanted to do was simply agreeing or not.

"Yaoer, how old are you this year?"

"19 years old." Ye Shuiyao replied.

Ye angrily shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I am a grandfather, I can't even remember the age of my granddaughter... Oh, by the way, you are two years older than Chen'er, Chen'er is 17 years old this year, you are indeed 19 years old." He suddenly sighed and said, "19 years old. I'm already at the age of getting married. Yao'er, do you have any interest in someone?"

Ye Shuiyao almost never goes out, so how could he have an interested person? Ye Nu already had an answer when he asked this question. But what surprised him was that with Ye Shuiyao's personality, he did not say "no" coldly, but... a trace of sadness and confusion flashed across his extremely cool face, and his eyes drifted without focal length for a long time before shook his head and said, "No."
